Ah thanks for the hint. I already forgot this.
But I wonder about the situation with hurd. It's added afaik too in the
main archive but the builds were only updated on debian-ports for grub2
at least.

Ah I should have looked there at the build log. Directly on that page it
just says compiler error.

Ok. Luckly upstream autodetects now at ./configure the features which
can be enabled and enables them if that's the case.
So we just don't pass anymore --enable-efiemu to it and hopefully it's
still compiled in when it can be and on kfreebsd-i386 it hopefully
continues without it.
